Research spotlights

Our research spotlights focus on current and recent Diabetes UK funded diabetes research projects - hear from the Diabetes UK research team and the researchers we fund about the aims, the methodology and the people behind each project, as well as updates on progress and outcomes.

Our understanding of the mechanisms that lead to the malfunction and eventual destruction of beta cells in Type 2 diabetes is limited. We're funding a range of different research projects that aim to improve knowledge in this important area and contribute to the development of new and better treatments for people with Type 2.
